7/14/06-Gov. Jeb Bush signed a bill into law that could cost people, including parents, their driving privileges for providing alcohol to underage drinkers.
The new law, previously SB1322, will allow judges to order the state’s Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to withhold issuance, revoke or suspend violators’ licenses for three to six months for a first offense. Repeat offenders could face up to a year without driving.
The penalties, which take effect Oct. 1, will be tacked on to existing $500 fines for supplying alcohol to children.
